It is the middle of the night. Maya decides to go outside to Lake Laogai. Jinora and Riley follow suit.
"What are you doing?" Riley said.
"Shhhh. Riles. Come check this out?" Maya said
As the trio followed the cart out of the city limits and within the inner and outer walls that protect the city, they are surrounded by seven guys, all with a killer instinct.
"Maya, look what you've done?" Jinora said.
One of the guys said "Can I help you with something"
"Um, yes. What is it that your carrying" Riley said
"Offerings for Kailani Alvarez" the second guy said
"Where is she?"
"Come here and I'll show you." Then, from out of nowhere, they blindside all three of them and stuff them into a bag. 3 hours later, they come across a familiar landscape.
Maya peeks out and sees the entrance to Javier's old tunnels. She begins to cry.
Several hours pass before they come across a familiar point; that being point X. The seven guys imprison the three inside a cell at the very bottom of the tunnels, known only to Javier as "The pit of death" All three of them begin to cry.
Back topside, Moose notices that they are missing, so he asks a sleepy Tenzin to borrow Oogi, and Tenzin, without even realizing what he just said, answered yes. "Oogi. Yip Yip. and Oogi Flies off. Moose, using a combination of the Spiritual Amplification System for Harmonic Apparitions and his knowledge of the Tunnels that Javier built years ago, located the entrance. He donned a heavy sweater, because the Si Wong Desert is no longer considered a desert thanks to Vienna's climate device. He also noted that snow started to fall.
"What are we going to do?" Riley said.
"Use your bloodbending, Maya said.
"Good Idea" Jinora said said.
For 25 minutes, they waited until a guy with a key passed by. Riley then bloodbent the guy, thus she was able to grab the key. As soon as she bloodbent the guy, a woman said "STOP! WHO BLOODBENDS MY GUYS?!"
"I did, and where's Kailani?"
"I'm afraid she's not here. Don't worry, though. You're dealing with Jade Price here."
"Jade Price? You're an inter-dimensioal human being?" How'd you get here.
"I was running away from the FBI for armed robbery when a massive sinkhole actually sunk all of us in. It was in Florida, mind me speaking. Then, I discovered a previously unknown cave system that stretched for miles beneath the earth. I discovered a portal soon after, and the rest is history. Don't worry. I'm not here to hurt you. I didn't know that they would imprison you. Josh, Kevin, James, Kendall, Logan, Paul, and Ringo...SHAME ON YOU SEVEN FOR IMPRISONING OUR FRIENDS!"
"Ok. I get it. You're messing with us, right?" Maya said.
"Nope. I'm your friend. I'm actually against Vienna and her plans to end the world by ice. I came to get you some tools. Is the Avatar with you?" Jade said
"Nope. She's in Ba Sing Se." Jinora said.
"Oh. Then please tell whoever she is that a bloodbender and the avatar may not be enough. It's time to bring in some bloodbender backup. You may not know this, but I'm a bloodbender myself. I gained some waterbending after spending 2 days in the spirit realm. At first, I thought it was a joke. But as time passed, I learned how to control both water and the body. I soon became a skilled bloodbender, using my powers even while the sun was out. I once did it on a new moon." Jade said
"Riley, did you bloodbend on a new moon?" Jinora said.
"I tried to, but it was useless. I can only bloodbend close to the full moon and during the full moon. I did bloodbend an assassin at 8 AM a few years ago." Riley said.
"You just need more training. I've got a great story to tell you. Yakone was the greatest bloodbender to ever set foot in this world. Unfortunately, he used his bloodbending for evil. Before he could do more damage, however, Aang stopped him and stripped him of his bending. That didn't stop him from teaching Tarrlok and Amon bloodbending. They both caused trouble to Republic City. Then, Korra, along with help from Bolin, Mako, and Asami, stopped the Equalist Movement and Amon Altogether. What we didn't know about was that Tarrlok murdered both Amon and himself while sailing in a boat" Jade said.
"Fine. I'll get more training" Riley said.
"That was the greatest story ever!" a voice bellowed
"Moose?" Jinora cried
"Who do you think it is? Lashley? Of course it's me." Moose chuckled "Who is the Red-and-blue-headed woman?"
"That's Jade Price" Maya said.
The S.A.S.H.A read green on her, meaning that she is the ally.
"Ok, Jade. If your are our friend, then why did you lure me into Javier's old tunnels?"
"The Javier? The same Javier who threatened to crash a comet into the moon, therefore destroying peace and balance in the world? I never knew that this was his cave? Do I need to ask him?" Jade asked
"No, Javier helped us. We have a device that could potentially cripple Vienna's Army and save the world before it freezes over." Moose said
"God. We'll need that. In the meantime, Riley will need training. Could she use you as a test dummy?" Jade said
"Yes, as long as she doesn't break my bones. I'm made of Iron. People think I'm an Earthbender because I'm built like one, but I'm an airbender. See?"
Moose shows Jade his tattoos. He goes on to say that Maya is also an airbender.
"I see."
1 hour later, Riley spars with Moose. Riley tries her hardest to bloodbend him, but it doesn't work. Jade, on the other hand, bloodbends him with ease. In fact, she even lifts him and tosses him 40 feet into a concrete wall.
"Ouch!" Moose screamed at the top of his lungs.
"That's what you get for sparring with good old Jade Price."
Over the next few days, Riley slowly improves her bloodbending. Then, Jade tells her a neat little trick that only elite bloodbenders know. So, Riley tries again, this time with Oogi and in Ba Sing Se. She not only lifts Oogi, but carries him 50 feet into a lake.
"Well done, my student. You are now more powerful than Yakone. Just remember to take down Vienna's henchmen and machines. And I'll join you, but first, I've got to find more elite bloodbenders. Katara can't know that we're bloodbending. So long.
